My upholstery guy told me that he was going to replace the OEM foam in my seat with gel and make it almost twice as thick so i wouldnt feel the road that much, makes sense...

And you bought that line?
You might as well do it right because sooner or later, you'll be adding a set of quality lowering shocks..

Hey Calledtoduty,
Do you remember what the bolts cost. I'm thinking that's all I want to lower my ST standard is an inch. Also, how long to install and I guess you need to use existing nuts etc....?

I lowered my 07 Softail Custom with the longer bolts. Looks a lot better, but it does ride FIRM. I actually prefer the ride now as compared to before.
